What version of Go are you using (go version)?

$ go version
go version devel +4b3f04c63b Thu Jan 10 18:15:48 2019 +0000 linux/amd64

(compiled at the go1.12beta2 tag)

Does this issue reproduce with the latest release?

This has broken some code that was working before, with Go 1.11.

What operating system and processor architecture are you using (go env)?

What did you do?

Here is a minimal test case. main.go:

package main

import _ "./package"

func main() {}

package/testcase.go:

package pkg

import "runtime/debug"

func init() {
	ps()
}

var v = ps()

func ps() int {
	debug.PrintStack()
	return 0
}

What did you expect to see?

Here is what this program prints with Go 1.11.2:

There is an extra main.init frame in both traces, plus a package.init one. The top-level var initializer is now within package.init, whereas before, there was no mention in the backtrace.

Is this an actual regression in the face of the Go 1 compatibility promise? Or was it wrong for code to rely on this? (Note that our code was examining the result of runtime.Callers programmatically.)

This is almost certainly a consequence of the fix for #28640.

Yeah, this doesn't look right. I will try and fix.

Init functions are special because they contain some generated code and some user code. The decision to print the frame used to use the actual file/line of the location the call happened. Now it uses the file/line of the function definition. This normally wouldn't matter, but for init functions. Possibly we could go back to the old method, although it is tricky to get the information to where it is needed. Another fix would be to split out the user code into a separate function. The outer function would be wrapper and the inner function wouldn't be. From the code to generate init functions, we'd pull step 7 into a separate function:

//      var initdone· uint8                             (1)
//      func init() {                                   (2)
//              if initdone· > 1 {                      (3)
//                      return                          (3a)
//              }
//              if initdone· == 1 {                     (4)
//                      throw()                         (4a)
//              }
//              initdone· = 1                           (5)
//              // over all matching imported symbols
//                      <pkg>.init()                    (6)
//              { <init stmts> }                        (7)
//              init.<n>() // if any                    (8)
//              initdone· = 2                           (9)
//              return                                  (10)
//      }

cmd/compile: rename init function from init.ializers back to init
7b91624 
The name change init -> init.ializers was initially required for
initialization code.

With CL 161337 there's no wrapper code any more, there's a data
structure instead (named .inittask). So we can go back to just
plain init appearing in tracebacks.

RELNOTE=yes

Update #29919. Followon to CL 161337.
